(Foodie) Porn: Cure for All Cases of Boredom

So I have been sitting at home, bored out of my freakin' mind and when I am bored, I eat or I create...in the kitchen, which ultimately leads to more eating anyway. lol. This week, there was spinach and mushroom pizza... Veggie Pizza This is actually a pretty healthy option - just a few tbsps of cheese, and fresh veggies on a multigrain crust ...and today, my first ever attempt at a pie, 100%...

Clean and Shiny

Pablo enjoying some scented candle lovin' So two weeks later and I still have not unpacked my suitcases and I am living on the bare minimum. But I did do some minor cleaning and after throwing out some junk, I dug up a scented candle to seal the deal on my efforts.

Home is Allegedly Where The Heart Is

Tired airline passenger So all I could think about yesterday as I sat on BA 2159 was my bed, with my pillows and my stuffed dog, Muffy. I was totally exhausted and even with the cat naps on the flight, I got home just wanting to take a long, hot shower and sleep. So why am I awake at 4.05am?? So yes, I am back in Trinidad. The flight was not uneventful. From start to finish, there were the moments...

Leaving on a Jet Plane - The Sequel

It's been a rather hectic couple of weeks. I have been here, there and everywhere, both physically and emotionally. I spent a few lovely days out of London, some lovely afternoons in and about London, and embarked on the painful process of packing (I am surely the Imelda Marcos of clothes) and saying goodbye. Many curse words were uttered (packing) and many tears were shed. But the adventure carries...
